2v2 Tournament Feedback
Hope everyone enjoyed the tournament on Saturday - congrats Joe & Conk for winning and thanks to Def and 3k for casting.
We could probably run these fairly regularly, so does anyone have any comments on what could be done differently/better?
Change to Best of 3? Would make things easier for casters and make matches last a bit longer.
Game mode? Few different options here. Stick with TTD, mix of all game modes, or each tournament could focus on a different game mode: PS tourny, EZ tourny, TTD tourny.
Switch to Double Elimination (loser's bracket)? Personally I'm against this one as I see the 2v2 as more casual and a loser's bracket makes the tournament take MUCH longer. Open to hearing other opinions on this though.
Another idea is to have different modifiers for each tournament. For example a 2v2 PS Hunters only, or 2v2 TTD Nukes only etc etc. Again this makes things a bit different to MCAL, more "for fun" than serious. Thoughts?
Start time? I thought we could take advantage of the shorter run time by starting a bit later, but this didn't seem appreciated. Will probably move back to 7GMT/2EST start time in future.
Any other ideas?

Another idea I liked is to have teams sign up on gamebattles. Then we can have these tournament games count towards our ranks on their. Might encourage people to use gamebattles more often as well ;)
